Nico Rosberg: It is important to try and be as consistent as possible – Formula 1 news
Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg believes that consistency is very important in 2012 Formula 1 season while he said that he has managed to deliver his best in the last four grands prix.
Rosberg struggled during the first two races and could not pocket even a single point. However, he made a fantastic comeback in the third race at Shanghai International Circuit in China in which he took his maiden victory after claiming his first ever pole
position.
Afterwards, he secured 5th and 7th place finish in the fourth and fifth race after beginning from 5th and 6th place in the grid. Later on, in the last race in Monte Carlo, he secured a striking second podium finish after qualifying for the second grid position.
“At the moment where everybody is very inconsistent it's important to try and be as consistent as possible. I'm the one who's managed best in the last four races, which is good. Unfortunately I had two bad ones before. But it's very important because this
season until now has been all about trying to be consistent because it's so up and down for everybody,” he said.
The veteran German driver is presently standing at fifth place in the drivers’ championship with 59 points. Furthermore, he is 8 points ahead of Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus and 4 points behind Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes.
In addition, he said that he is positively looking forward to perform well in 2012 Canadian Grand Prix which is to be held at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve on June 10.
It will be important to mention that he underplayed the importance of Mercedes’ double DRS in Montreal.
“It's definitely not going to be a bad thing for qualifying but I don't know if it's going to make more of a difference here than other tracks,” he said.
The Brackley-based team is presently at fifth position in the constructors’ championship with 61 points. Additionally, they are trying their best to make the necessary preparations and the considerable developments so as improve the pace of their car in
order to fight for this year’s championship title.
